And a Merry Christmas good morning to everyone here! Sounds like a nice quiet day for many others besides us. We did our Christmas dinner with just hubby and me yesterday and some friends stopped by for a couple of hours last night. We will be having Christmas with our kids and grandkids on Friday because hubby's daughter will be here from the east coast. I will make the annual homemade Christmas pizza for them!

Gimli, I send good thoughts for your dad. My mom had a double pulmonary embolism 2 years ago at age 87 and she is doing fine. They are blood clots to the lungs and are very serious. It's hard to know what might happen, but I'm sure his doctors are taking good care of him.

Good morning boomies and ! I tried to sleep in especially after getting to bed in the wee hours but Shadow is not feeling well for the second day now so I made some trips to let him him out to go potty and then finally gave up when he decided to be ill in my bedroom. A rude awakening to say the least.

Evelyne, prayers to you, and your dad and mom. Peter had a pulmonary embolism last year, they are very scary to say the least.

So happy merry Christmas to everyone. Hope Santa (or someone else) got you just what you wanted. I do Christmas on Christmas Eve. Saves getting up early. Got a nice pair of heat in the microwave footies. Tried them out. You can't stand or walk in them without great bodily harm, but they sure keep the feet warm when you are watching TV.

Also got..tada..a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-SZ7 tiny little camera. It's awesome! Does everything. Now I just have to watch the disc that came with it to figure out how to use it. Fun. It's going to replace my OLD Canon huge antique (3x zoom)hehehe. I never thought of getting a new modern updated do everything much better HD and all that camera with 10X zoom. Nope, but my friend (who always gives me electronics for Christmas) did. NICE. I'm thrilled. Took some pics last night and this morning after tons of button pushing, I managed to actually SEE them. I've gotta watch that disc! And this mega zoom function will allow me to spy on Sorta's Neighborhood even better.
